WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th January, 2022) US automaker General Motors is planning to invest $7 billion in four plants in the state of Michigan to significantly enhance its ability to produce electric trucks and battery cells, the company announced Tuesday.
"General Motors Co. announced today an investment of more than $7 billion in four Michigan manufacturing sites, creating 4,000 new jobs and retaining 1,000, and significantly increasing battery cell and electric truck manufacturing capacity," the company said in a statement.
